Elementary school students need to learn to use and identify different types of science and math charts. Teachers can use a cookie taste test to teach kids about pie graphs, bar graphs, line graphs, and pictographs.

The chart math and science lesson can be taught as part of an integrated unit based on If You Give a Mouse a Cookie by Laura Numeroff. [HarperCollins, 2000] Teachers can introduce the unit by reading the story to the class. During math or science class teachers can have the kids pretend to be the mouse in the story and try different types of cookies and chart the results.
